Holly Chapman graduated from UNC Charlotte with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. She also recently received a Master of Education degree from UNCC with a focus on gifted education. As a recipient of the North Carolina Teaching Fellows scholarship, she had the opportunity to visit schools across the country to learn fresh ideas and see the latest research-based practices in action. After graduating, she married her high school sweetheart, PJ, and moved to Fort Riley, Kansas where he was stationed with the Air Force. She taught second grade on post and loved the community feel of the military families.
After one year in Kansas, she and her husband realized North Carolina still had their hearts and this was when Holly found Corvian. From the moment she walked through the doors in 2013, she fell in love with its philosophy, nurturing atmosphere, and community feel, as this perfectly aligns with her educational philosophy. Throughout her years at Corvian, she has taught 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grades, as well as served as Corvian's AIG coordinator/teacher and testing coordinator. During her time as the AIG coordinator, she collaborated closely with administration to help launch Corvian's AIG program. She has been serving as Corvian’s Associate Director of Elementary Education since 2017.
Holly currently lives in Denver with her husband and their three-year-old daughter. She enjoys baking, exercising, crafting, and spending time with her family.
